Description
Overview:
The Timco Cone Cutter 5-20 mm (CC520) is a high-speed steel tool designed for drilling, enlarging, and de-burring holes in thin sheet metal. Made from HSS for hardness and edge retention, it produces clean, concentric holes with minimal burr. Its stepped, conical profile allows you to work up through sizes from 5 mm to 20 mm without changing bits, helping maintain accuracy and control. Optimised for thin materials, it performs best on sheet up to 2.0 mm thick (approx. 0.08 in). Suitable for use with standard corded and cordless drills as well as pillar drills, it supports precise metalworking on-site or in the workshop. Use with a suitable cutting lubricant to reduce heat, improve finish, and extend tool life.
Key Features:
- HSS construction for durability, sharpness, and consistent cutting performance
- Stepped design covers sizes from 5 mm to 20 mm for versatile hole making and enlargement
- Produces clean holes with de-burring action to minimise sharp edges
- Ideal for thin sheet metals up to 2.0 mm (approx. 0.08 in) thickness
- Works with common drilling equipment, including handheld drills and drill presses with standard 3-jaw chucks
- Precision geometry helps maintain roundness and prevents snatching in thin material
- Best results when used with appropriate cutting oil or lubricant to reduce wear and heat build-up
- Suitable for controlled enlargement of existing holes, reducing the need to swap between multiple twist drills
Typical Applications:
Fabrication and maintenance in mild steel and aluminium sheet, control panels, electrical enclosures, trunking, HVAC ducting, automotive bodywork, roofing sheets, brackets, and metal signage. Ideal for creating new holes, stepping up diameters, and smoothing edges in thin stock where clean finishes and accurate sizing matter.
Also known as:
Step drill bit, cone drill bit, tapered step drill, sheet metal step bit, multi-step hole cutter, conical drill, metal step cutter.
